WHEATON, Ill. /PRNewswire/ — As a candidate for Illinois’ 6th Congressional District and an Energy Consultant, I feel compelled to speak out on the current state of energy in America, because America’s energy policy is a matter of National Security.
Being energy dependent as a country, as we are today, is not only costly to the American people, it weakens America’s position on the world stage.
By subverting our own energy suppliers, the Biden administration and their policies have put us at the mercy of foreign oil. It shifts the power structure away from America to countries like Iran, Venezuela, China – and Russia. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is just one adverse effect of this transfer of power.
Regaining energy independence will again tip the scales of the world power in America’s favor. America is the largest force of good in the world. A strong America will keep tyrant countries in check and benefit the whole world.
At home, being energy independent will lower the price of gas to fill our tanks and heat our homes. Lowering prices will temper inflation – which is at a 40 year high today.
As an off set to this, the current Administration is pushing renewable energy and electric vehicles. According to one executive order signed by Biden, the US is to achieve 100% carbon free electricity by 2030 and 100% electric vehicles by 2035.
This is not feasible. Renewable energy is not the sole solution for American energy as advocated by this administration.
One reason is the battery storage that is needed requires lithium, which is mostly produced in China. Beyond that, we would need to utilize much of today’s farmland and natural preserves for wind and solar fields to meet the demand for energy. Not to mention the problem with disposing of them and the costs involved.
Pushing renewables as the panacea to our energy needs will keep us dependent on foreign countries, like China, and lead to more problems down the road.
For More Information on the Conforti for Congress Campaign:
There is one common thread running through every Democrat policy – it’s hurt Americans, destroy America.
And as one commenter points out, “What oil subsidies are there? Sorry there aren’t billions or trillions of subsidies going to fossil fuel producers. The last time I looked the only subsidies I found were for research into green energy and to burn the fossil fuels cleaners. What people are calling subsidies, are normal businesses expenses. Deducting employee wages and production costs are not subsidies.”
Progressive Democrats in the House of Representatives are reportedly planning to publicly urge President Biden to ban oil drilling on federal lands amid record gas prices and a war in Ukraine that has disrupted oil markets.
According to a report from Politico, the Congressional Progressive Caucus is planning to demand that Biden use his executive power to declare climate change an emergency and ban drilling on federal lands.
“Progressive Caucus member @JaredHuffman told me calling on Biden to declare a climate emergency is one of the ‘centerpiece’ actions to headline their EO plan,” Politico reporter Joshua Siegel tweeted Tuesday. “A draft of the plan I saw also calls for Biden to ban oil/gas drilling on public lands and end fossil fuel subsidies.”
Siegel added that House Democrats will also call on Biden to manufacture more heat pumps to “ease the strain in oil and gas markets that has been caused by Russia’s war in Ukraine.” Some of those heat pumps would be donated to Europe, according to the House Progressives’ plan.

The reported move drew immediate criticism on social media with many pointing out that gas prices have surged to record levels prompting Republicans to call for increased drilling to ease pain at the pump, not less.

“Dems want $10 gas,” Republican Sen. Ted Cruz tweeted.
“The Democrats need to wake up,” Republican Sen. Steve Daines tweeted. “We must unleash American energy.”
“And Democrats wonder why people blame them for high gas prices,” a Twitter account associated with the National Republican Congressional Committee tweeted.

“We need to focus on building critical infrastructure and increasing domestic production, not jeopardizing North American energy security,” President and CEO of the National Association of Manufacturers Jay Timmons tweeted. “Manufacturers oppose this attempt to potentially further disrupt domestic energy production and drive up prices.”

The use of a “climate emergency” also raises constitutional concerns, as the nation eases out of emergency COVID restrictions imposed two years ago by governors and local authorities, which shut down businesses and destroyed millions of jobs nationwide.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News.
The Biden administration has faced intense criticism in recent weeks for refusing to commit to increasing oil production in the United States as gas prices have surged roughly $1.50 per gallon since he took off in a crisis that has been exacerbated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Foreign actors have been funding the destruction of the American energy sector under the guise of green/clean climate hoax propaganda.
House GOP demands investigation into alleged Russian influence in US environmental groups
“Unlike the Russia hoax, Putin’s malign influence on our energy sector is real and deserves further investigation,” Jim Banks said.
As many Americans are seeking an increase in domestic energy output amid skyrocketing prices across the country, Republicans are calling on Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to investigate if Russian money has financed American environmental groups that advocate against US fossil fuels.
The head of the Republican Study Committee (RSC) has urged Yellen to launch an investigation into whether Russia has a secret funding scheme backing US green groups that have been a barrier to America’s bid for energy independence.
Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) spearheaded a letter Friday addressed to Yellen that cites a Washington Free Beaconreport from 2015 that suggested that California-based Sea Change Foundation may be “a conduit for Russian oil interests in funneling money” to groups such as the League of Conservation Voters (LCV), the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), the Sierra Club, and the Center for American Progress, according to a Fox News exclusive Saturday.
“Russia spent millions promoting anti-energy policies and politicians in the U.S.,” Banks declared in a press statement sent to Fox News Digital. “Now, thanks to Biden’s war on domestic energy, U.S. oil production has dropped 10%, pushing up prices and enriching and emboldening Putin before he invaded Ukraine.”
Banks said that unlike the “Russia hoax,” Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “malign influence on our energy sector is real and deserves further investigation.”
As the world “descends into another global conflict,” Banks said in the latter it is “imperative that the Unites States remains free from foreign manipulation.”
The list of requests outlined in the letter asks the Treasury Department to partner with the Department of Justice in establishing a select committee to probe illicit Russian influence operations if Russian manipulation is confirmed.
Fox News reported that the Treasury Department did not respond to email requests for comment on whether it would investigate the GOP’s concerns regarding Russian interference in American anti-energy funding.
The letter from Banks mirrors a similar effort from Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee who are demanding select environmental groups disclose ties to a non-governmental organization, which GOP members claim are being used by Putin to impact America’s energy production efforts.
House Republicans on the committee have pointed to the LCV, the NRDC, and the Sierra Club, which they’ve alleged have connections with the San Francisco-headquartered NGO environmental organization Sea Change Foundation. Sea Change is known as a major left-of-center foundation whose grant-making focuses on supporting environmentalist think tanks and advocacy groups.
In a March 10 letter sent to the aforementioned trio, congressional Republicans inquired about the funding the groups have received from the Sea Change Foundation since 2006 and prompted a disclosure of whether the groups “are aware of concerns that Sea Change may be a conduit for Russian funding.”
Meanwhile, the Center for American Progress said the allegations have been “thoroughly debunked,” pointing to a 2018 Inside Philanthropyarticle where Sea Change founders Nat Simons and Laura Baxter-Simons are quoted insisting they’ve received no outside funding and the foundation’s over $500 million in grants for climate and clean energy initiatives were based on family wealth.
“I wish to clarify that press reports speculating that Klein has received funding from outside sources are factually incorrect and have no basis. Neither Klein nor Sea Change Foundation has ever solicited or accepted contributions from non-family related sources,” Simons said in a statement include in the 2018 piece.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, the Center for American Progress called the recent moves by the GOP arriving amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict “a disgusting disinformation campaign by unpatriotic Republican extremists who have been actively cheering on Putin throughout the Trump years” and who are “now masking that disgrace with lies that have been thoroughly debunked.”
LCV, NRDC, and Sierra Club have also pushed back against the GOP’s claims in previous statements to Fox News Digital, with the NRDC calling the Republican Party’s allegations “false” and “rooted in a smear campaign orchestrated nearly a decade ago by fossil fuel interests and a right-wing think tank.”
“We receive no funding from the governments of Russia or China,” said NRDC director of strategic engagement Bob Deans, calling the GOP’s allegations “a distraction” then and now. “We answer to our independent leadership, and we don’t do the bidding of any government – foreign or otherwise – in our work to advocate for commonsense environmental protections in the public interest.”
LCV said the “story is completely false and has been put to rest for years.”
“We have no connections to Russia, or China, and have been an effective advocate for environmental protection for over 50 years,” the American environmental advocacy group stated. “These false and poorly researched allegations are rooted in a nearly 10-year-old right-wing think tank and fossil fuel industry-funded smear campaign that gets revived every few years to serve as a distraction.”
Sierra Club’s legislative director Melinda Pierce labeled the collusion allegation a “false conspiracy theory” that’s “invented by the same deceitful front groups paid to do polluters’ and big tobacco’s dirty work, has been repeatedly debunked over its nearly 10-year existence.” Pierce maintained that the Sierra Club has “no connections to Russia or China, and proudly fights for clean energy and climate action because this is what our planet requires, our families deserve, and what the overwhelming majority of Americans across the country demand.”
As the Russian government seeks to expand its political influence as an energy superpower, Moscow has gone to drastic lengths to ensure Europe’s reliance on Russian oil and gas. The dependence has made it difficult for both the US and its European allies to counter Russia’s military aggression in the region.
Among critics blasting President Joe Biden’s energy policies at home, the Republican Study Committee, the largest group of conservatives in the House, claims that the commander-in-chief has stifled domestic oil and gas production and led to the U.S. buying Russian oil to fund Putin’s war against Ukraine.
Earlier in the previous week, Biden announced a ban on Russian oil imports, firing back at opponents accusing the Biden administration of holding back domestic energy production. “I’m sick of this stuff,” Biden told a Democratic retreat in Philadelphia in reference to questions of inflation. “The American people think the reason for inflation is the government spending more money. Simply not true.”
Yellen said in a Thursday interview that Americans will likely experience “another year in which 12-month inflation numbers remain very uncomfortably high.”
She also said she believes the war in Ukraine is “exacerbating inflation” as the situation would likely play a part in keeping prices on the upward trend.

Alexandra Ocasio Cortez (AOC) is neither a climatologist or scientist. Before she was elected to Congress she was a bartender.
Nothing wrong with being a bartender but creating a program called ‘The Green New Deal’ is above her pay level.
Nevertheless the Biden White House is in the process of implementing AOC’s Green New Deal which was voted down by the Senate in 1979 by a vote of 57 Republicans against, and 47 Democrats voting present.
Not one Democrat Senator voted for it.
Can you think of any country other than the U.S. under Biden’s management that would vote to give up its energy independence?
Can’t think of one, because it never happened before.
Shortly after being sworn in as president Biden cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline. While electioneering he promised to do so and promised to put the fossil fuel business out of business. Few people understood by going to war against oil and gas that the U.S. would no longer be energy independent; or that U.S. security would be compromised plus high inflation would follow.
Everything we eat, drink or use is affected by the price of energy.
Before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, gasoline prices increased by about a dollar a gallon and natural gas rose as well. Biden’s claim that inflation is a result of the Russian-Ukraine war doesn’t wash.
We can thank AOC and the commitments Biden probably made to her to get her and the ‘Squad’ to support his election has resulted in our current state of affairs.
The White House has been pleading with Venezuela and Saudi Arabia to pump more oil to make up for Biden’s monumental error. How does this help climate change considering the U.S. produces cleaner energy than either of these countries?
It is high time for Congress and the Senate to take action to make the U.S. energy independent again and end Biden’s war on energy and the American people.

The disastrous debacle in Afghanistan signaled to Vladimir Putin that the time to strike is while Joe Biden is in charge.
Just yesterday, Biden blinked and declined Poland’s offer of fighter jets, leaving Ukraine struggling to defend its skies as equipment runs short.
Biden continually tells Putin what America will not do. Mister President, it is not wise to inform the criminals that the police will not be coming. Particularly if it is likely they won’t.
How can we expect a President to stand up to Putin if he lacks the courage to even stand up to the Green-Left and unleash America’s energy might?
“Tyrants like Putin” includes Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro and the mad Mullahs in Iran. Yet it is they whom Biden is asking to step up energy production.
Anyone who believes that purchasing gas and oil from tyrants rather than Americans will lower the temperature of the Globe does not understand energy, the climate, or freedom.
Psaki keeps citing unused energy leases as evidence that all is well on the American energy front. This is nonsense.
We posted a very detailed point by point debunking of Psaki’s energy leases political talking points by Kathleen Sgamma to CFACT.org. Read it and arm yourself with energy facts.As Sgamma clearly explains, the 9,000 leases figure is meaningless, “if permits aren’t approved (4,500 outstanding) & with myriad other delays the administration puts in the way of American producers.”
By the way, is Jen Psaki aware that the wind, solar and electric cars the Left so loves, are dependent on rare earths, metals and manufacturing from China and Russia?
The Greens, with China’s and Russia’s active funding and assistance, are blocking American mining as well!
Unleash American energy. We won’t stop tyrants with daydreams of wind, solar and electric cars.

“It’s simply not true that my administration or policies are holding back domestic energy production. It’s simply not true!” – Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.
There are lies and then there are damn lies. It appears that Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. is a damn liar. In fact he is America’s Energy-Liar-In-Chief.
Biden’s Build Back Better energy strategy is to reach zero-emissions. Zero-emissions is a myth and can’t be done without dire consequences. In order to have zero-emissions Biden and his administration would have to eliminate all internal combustion engine driven vehicles, boats, ships and private and commercial aircraft and then mandate that every American buy only all electric vehicles (EVs).
From Covid mandates to energy mandates, where will this end, in 2024?
How do we know that Biden is lying? Simple, just listen to Pete Buttigieg, Biden’s Secretary of Transportation and Michael S. Regan, Biden’s Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency:
EPA Administrator Michael Regan: "We're pressing the accelerator to reach a zero-emissions future sooner than most people thought." pic.twitter.com/YFiSn10JgV
Buttigieg says you don’t have to worry about gas prices if you buy an electric vehicle…someone should remind him how out of touch he sounds pic.twitter.com/tiJVkl7wB3
Biden doesn’t want to take responsibility for the dramatic rise in gasoline and diesel prices since his election. Why? Because Americans are feeling the pain at the pump. Each and every time people fill up their tanks they know that Biden did that.
So what is Biden’s solution to stop the rise in prices at the pump? Drill baby drill? Nope! It’s zero-emissions!
But wait, Biden has another brilliant solution: reach out to “petrodictatorships” around the world, such as Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Venezuela. How does being dependent upon petrodictators sound to you?
Even some Democrats are saying enough is enough.
Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-NY), Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, argued,
The U.S. should “not be trading in one tyrant for another to meet America’s energy needs.”
“We need to blow a hole in the Russian economy. We need to lower gas prices for American consumers. Everything should be on the table. But I don’t support strengthening one dictator to hurt another. And I don’t think you’ll see us do that.”
Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Menendez (D-NY) lashed out at the Biden administration for turning to Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro stating:
“Nicolás Maduro is a cancer to our hemisphere and we should not breathe new life into his reign of torture and murder,” Menendez said in a statement. As such, I would strongly oppose any action that fills the pockets of regime oligarchs with oil profits while Maduro continues to deprive Venezuelans of basic human rights, freedoms, and even food.”
Biden came into office with the promise that he would restore America’s standing in the world. Instead, he has single-handedly squandered America’s energy independence, its ability to rein in regional aggressors like Russia, and has unraveled the gains in Russian, Chinese and Middle Eastern diplomacy that were achieved under President Trump.
The Bottom Line
Biden and his administration doesn’t care about skyrocketing gas prices because he wants to drive internal combustion engines out of existence anyway.
It’s part of the Green New Deal plan. The suffering he will cause by going “zero-emissions” is of little consequence to Biden, Regan and Buttigieg. For you see they won’t experience it but we the people already are!
We the people are experiencing it each and every day as we drive by our gas stations and see the prices steadily rising. We see it when we fill up our cars, SUVs, trucks, lawnmowers, etc.
America’s economy and its power comes from oil. By eliminating oil and its derivatives Biden is slowly but surely destroying our economy, our futures and our nation.
Whoever is behind “Joe Biden” has done all they can to derail American Life, and the feckless leadership of Euroland has also seemed avid to trash its future. There is a welling movement, in America, at least, to resist all that, to sweep these degenerates out of power, and make a concerted course correction in the direction of sanity, rectitude, liberty, and generosity of spirit toward each other. An awful lot of trouble has already been set in motion by the idiots running things. There is a difficult slog ahead. Is your head screwed on? Where will you stand?
We ask you the same question: Where will you stand?
America’s power lies in its ability to provide power to the engines of our current and future economic growth.
Starving America of power, makes America powerless. Starving our citizens of cheap and reliable power is a direct threat to our fiscal and national security.
To be powerful America needs powerful sources of energy. Nuclear, oil (for gasoline, diesel and aviation fuels) and natural gas are the best and most accessible means to energy independence.
American Energy independence translates into life, liberty and the pursuit of our collective happiness.
Without cheap and reliable power sources the lights in that city on the hill will most certainly go out – for everyone.

This is a real “Let Them Eat Cake” moment for Transportation Department top dog Pete Buttigieg, as most Americans can’t afford electric cars and the infrastructure isn’t there for them in all parts of the country, but Buttigieg here reveals the Biden agenda.
He doesn’t care about skyrocketing gas prices because he wants to drive internal combustion engines out of existence anyway.
It’s part of the Green New Deal plan. The suffering he will cause by doing so is of little moment to Biden and Buttigieg; they won’t experience it. Neither will EPA top dog Michael Regan, who makes the plan clear.

“How about this? No ban on Russian oil & gas until the U.S. lifts sanctions against U.S. domestic energy.
Any Congressional bill to ban Russian energy should include lifting of all climate-related sanctions on U.S. homegrown energy! It’s time to stop the sanctions — against American domestic energy!”
Former Obama U.S. Treasury official says quiet part out loud:
“undercuts the administration’s climate change goals — where really to care about fossil-fuel consumption, we don’t want lower prices for fossil-fuel buyers, we prefer higher prices.”
“Skyrocketing energy prices are exactly what the climate and environmental agenda demands and has demanded for the past 50 plus years. From President Obama to President Biden, higher energy costs have been the plan to soften up Americans and the economy to prepare them for accepting less in order to impose the progressive vision on society.
High energy prices and shortages will condition Americans to accept a ‘new normal’ in energy that is entirely due to following the climate agenda.”
Bloomberg excerpt: “Former U.S. Treasury official Mark Mazur… agreed a gas-tax holiday “undercuts the administration’s climate change goals — where really to care about fossil-fuel consumption, we don’t want lower prices for fossil-fuel buyers, we prefer higher prices.”Sampling of climate activists cheering on higher energy prices:

America’s energy future is not in solar and wind power. Rather our energy needs are best met by oil, natural gas and nuclear power.
Let’s look at the current numbers to see where Americans get their energy from.
Here is a chart showing how much U.S. energy is produced by coal and coal byproducts.
Energy source
Billion kWh
Share of total
Coal
899
21.8%
Petroleum (total)
19
0.5%
Petroleum liquids
11
0.3%
Petroleum coke
7
0.2%
Here is a chart on how much of our energy is produced by solar and wind.
NOTE: hydropower is classified as a renewable. 1. Take away hydropower and wind and solar only account for 12.5% share. 2. When the sun goes down and the wind stops blowing, solar and wind fail to produce power:
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) there are, as of December 31, 2020, 94 nuclear reactors operating at 56 nuclear power plants in 28 states. Thirty-two of the plants have two reactors, and three plants have three reactors. Nuclear power plants have supplied about 20% of total annual U.S. electricity since 1990.
America has not built any new nuclear power plants since 1990.
The EIA notes:
The United States generates more nuclear power than any other country
In 2019, 31 countries had commercial nuclear power plants, and in 14 of the countries, nuclear energy supplied at least 20% of their total annual electricity generation. The United States had the largest nuclear electricity generation capacity and generated more nuclear electricity than any other country. France, with the second-largest nuclear electricity generation capacity and second-highest nuclear electricity generation, had the largest share—about 70%—of total annual electricity generation from nuclear energy.
Nuclear energy is clean, efficient and reliable. It is also carbon free.
If America, like France, made the wise decision to begin building nuclear power plants to meet 100% of our power we would need to build an additional 500, plus or minus, nuclear power plants.
This national initiative would allow the United States to then use its oil and natural gas resources to fuel our cars, SUVs, trucks, trains, airplanes and other gasoline and diesel driven equipment, such as generators, and become energy independent.
We could also export all of our coal for use by other nations to meet their energy needs.
American consumers will continue to buy new and used vehicles powered by internal combustion engines. Thus we as a nation must maintain and expand our ability to produce our own oil via on and off-shore drilling and fracking.
As more consumers go to all electric vehicles (EVs) and the charging stations needed to keep them running, whether in the home or on the road, the strain on our electric grid will increase.
We need more, not less, cheap and reliable power to fuel our economy, our communities and our nation.
Not to provide cheap and reliable power will lead to what we are seeing now, war in Ukraine.
The Bottom Line
America’s power lies in its ability to provide power to the engines of our current and future economic growth.
Starving America of power, makes America powerless. Starving our citizens of cheap and reliable power is a direct threat to our fiscal and national security.
To be powerful America needs powerful sources of energy. Nuclear, oil (for gasoline, diesel and aviation fuels) and natural gas are the best and most accessible means to energy independence.

A Republican staff report by the Senate suggests that Russian funds have been funneled through off-shore corporations and passed on to U.S.- based environmental activist organizations with the intent to effect political change.
[ … ]
In January 2017, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued a report stating there is “clear evidence that the Kremlin is financing and choreographing anti-fracking propaganda in the United States.”
[ … ]
Hillary Clinton in 2014 said: ‘We [the State Department and the U.S.] were up against Russia pushing oligarchs and others to buy media. We were even up against phony environmental groups, and I’m a big environmentalist, but these were funded by the Russians to stand against any effort, ‘Oh that pipeline, that fracking, that whatever will be a problem for you,’ and a lot of the money supporting that message was coming from Russia.’
March 2022: Michael Shellenberger: “15 years ago Europe exported more natural gas than Russia does today. Now, Russia exports 3x more gas than Europe produces. Why? Because climate activists, partly funded by Russia, blocked fracking.”
The Russia “collusion” no one seems to want to remember. Here are excerpts from a 2-18 U.S. Congressional report from the Committee on Science, Space and Technology. It details how Russian
Republicans and Democrats agree the Kremlin is manipulating environmental groups in an attempt to carry out their agenda
The Kremlin has a motive to disrupt U.S. energy markets and influence domestic energy policy, since American energy represents a direct threat to Russian energy interests. Russia’s efforts to influence U.S. energy policy are well documented in the public domain. U.S. presidential candidates, European officials, and the U.S. intelligence community have all publicly noted that Russia and its government corporations are funding a covert anti-fracking campaign to suppress the widespread adoption of fracking in Europe and the U.S., all in an effort to protect the influence of the Russian oil and gas sector.22
The substantial increase in domestic production has resulted in an abundant supply of American energy, which is increasingly making its way into the global marketplace. While this stands to provide substantial economic benefits to the U.S., it simultaneously represents a direct threat to Russian energy interests. First, an abundance of American supply in the global energy marketplace stands to reduce Russian market share and thus revenues generated from oil and gas activities. Second, by providing supply alternatives for European countries dependent on Russian supply and infrastructure, American energy stands to disrupt the Kremlin’s ability to leverage energy consumption for geopolitical influence.
Russia provides roughly 75 percent of the natural gas imported by countries in Central and Eastern Europe while the countries in Southeast Europe “receive almost all of their natural gas from Russia.” 17 “Russia’s Gazprom has acknowledged for the first time a threat to its dominant position in European gas market from an expected influx of liquefied natural gas (LNG) produced in the United States under [the Trump] administration.” 18 Shortly after this acknowledgment, U.S. LNG made its way to Poland 19 and Lithuania. 20 In fact, Poland recently signed a five-year deal with the United States to import liquefied natural gas into the country in an attempt to decrease dependency on Russian energy supplies. 21 …
As the threat of American energy continues to grow, so does the Kremlin’s incentive to influence energy operations in Europe and the United States. Moreover, as they have demonstrated, the Kremlin will use any and all tools at their disposal to preserve Russia’s dominant energy status and to maintain its stranglehold over Eastern and Central Europe. …
Former Secretary of State and then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, with access to intelligence reports, made a private speech in 2014, according to documents from WikiLeaks, which included statements about the struggles of dealing with Russian-backed environmental groups. According to a media report, Secretary Clinton said the following: “We [the State Department and the U.S.] were up against Russia pushing oligarchs and others to buy media. We were even up against phony environmental groups, and I’m a big environmentalist, but these were funded by the Russians to stand against any effort, ‘Oh that pipeline, that fracking, that whatever will be a problem for you,’ and a lot of the money supporting that message was coming from Russia.”24 …
In January 2017, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released a report that contained “clear evidence that the Kremlin is financing and choreographing anti-fracking propaganda in the United States.” 25 The report found that the Russian-sponsored news agency RT (formerly Russian Today) “r[an] anti-fracking programing, highlighting environmental issues and the impacts on public health,” which “is likely reflective of the Russian Government’s concern about the impact of fracking and the U.S. natural gas production on the global energy market and the potential challenges to [Russian energy companies’] profitability,” such as state- controlled Russian energy giant Gazprom.26 …
A Republican staff report by the Senate suggests that Russian funds have been funneled through off-shore corporations and passed on to U.S.- based environmental activist organizations with the intent to effect political change. 27 …
More recently Senator Ben Cardin released a voluminous report on Russian manipulation of the media over decades. Specific to oil and gas, the Cardin report cited a “study by the Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies [which] reports that the Russian government has invested $95 million in NGOs that seek to persuade EU governments to end shale gas exploration,” which illustrates how American energy directly clashes with the Russian energy agenda.28 Senator Cardin’s work reiterates that “according to NATO officials, Russian intelligence agencies also reportedly provide covert support to European environmental groups to campaign against fracking for natural gas, thereby keeping the EU more dependent on Russian supplies.”29
Additionally, as further evidence of Russian attempts to spread propaganda in the United States, U.S. Department of Justice officials have demanded that the U.S. based affiliate of RT register as a foreign agent under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).30 FARA requires that agents representing the interests of foreign governments in any political or quasi-political capacity disclose public communications aimed at influencing American political debate or public policy.31 Through local programs all over the world, RT and other news agencies operate as a government-funded arm of Russia in its attempts to destabilize and disrupt democratic institutions and the free market. Under FARA, the American people have the right to evaluate the “statements and activities of [persons acting as foreign agents] in light of their function as foreign agents.”32
To that end, the Kremlin is attempting to make, as Senator Cardin’s report states, “useful idiots” of unwitting environmental groups and activists in furtherance of its energy influence operations.33
2018 CFACT report: Russian efforts to disrupt U.S. energy markets exposed – By Bonner Cohen, Ph. D. – In January 2017, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued a report stating there is “clear evidence that the Kremlin is financing and choreographing anti-fracking propaganda in the United States.”
Driessen Excerpt: The US Senate “Billionaires’ Club” and Environmental Policy Alliance “From Russia with Love” reports, articles by investigative journalists like Ron Arnold and Lachlan Markay (here and here), studies by the US National Intelligence Director and Iowa State University, and a March 2018 report by the US House Science Committee reveal money laundering by Putin cronies and ongoing propaganda efforts by Russian media groups to undermine American drilling, fracking, pipeline and agricultural programs. … Hefty portions of Klein funds come from Russia: Rosneft, the Russian-government-owned oil and gas giant that is one of Wakefield’s largest clients; Spectrum Partners, a Moscow-based energy investment firm with major assets in Russian oil and gas; the IPOC Group, an international growth fund owned by Russian minister of telecommunications and Putin friend Leonid Reiman; and other Russian companies. (Other Sea Change donors include the Gates Foundation, eBay’s Omidyar Network Fund, David Rockefeller’s personal foundation, the Walmart Foundation and the extended Simons family.)
The Science Committee Report explains how the Russian government funnel money through surrogates to US environmentalist organizations to fund attacks on the fossil fuels industry. It also reveals how Russian operatives create and spread propaganda on US social media platforms, to manipulate American opinions about pipelines, fossil fuels, fracking and climate change.
Rupert Darwall: In late 2019, Boris Johnson banned commercial fracking. Earlier this month, the British government ordered that concrete be poured into the country’s two exploratory shale wells and for them to be abandoned. The move was blasted by Cuadrilla Resources CEO Francis Egan, who pointed out that the Bowland shale formation could supply 50 years of current U.K. gas demand. … Germany’s and the EU’s net-zero policies will deepen their dependence on Putin’s goodwill as they increase their exposure to unreliable wind and solar, phase out coal, and – in the case of Germany and Belgium – prematurely close their nuclear power stations. Strategically, that’s a win for Putin.

UPDATE: Candidate for the U.S. Senate Carla Sands, “Make America Energy Dominant Again.” Former U.S. Ambassador and current Pennsylvania candidate in Pennsylvania Carla Sands calls for strong America first leaders to rise up and take back the country from the radical left.
They said it couldn’t be done. Then we did it.
Energy independence!
Then Biden yanked away what generations had worked for in the blink of an eye.
Put that together with Biden’s provocative weakness in Afghanistan and now Ukrainians are paying the price in blood. Will Taiwan be next? Then who?
“Efforts to go net zero have diminished the ability of nations to provide sufficient energy to meet demand,” I explained, “and this gives tyrants like Vladimir Putin an opportunity to provide that energy in the form of natural gas and rake in millions to fund his war machine.”
If you watched President Biden’s State of the Union Address you received no sign that Biden will wake up and value American energy independence above catering to his left-wing base.
Marc Morano took Biden to task on Fox and Friends explaining. “Russian oil imports are at an 11 year high. We’re importing 600,000 barrels a day from Russia. And Russia’s federal budget is 40% based upon oil and gas revenue.”
Environmentalist Michael Shellenberger was very clear. We shared his tweet with CFACT’s Facebook friends. “Russia produces 3X more gas than Europe produces. Why? Because climate activists, partly funded by Russia, blocked fracking.”
People think Europe depends on Russia for energy because it lacks its own, but 15 years ago Europe exported more natural gas than Russia does today. Now, Russia exports 3x more gas than Europe produces. Why? Because climate activists, partly funded by Russia, blocked fracking. pic.twitter.com/m9ifRLs0ku

It’s not just hydrocarbons. Wind and solar, as inefficient and intermittent as they may be, are WHOLLY DEPENDENT on rare earth elements and manufacturing from China and metals from Russia!
This is no accident. China and Russia played the useful idiot Left like a drum, stifled domestic mining, drilling and manufacturing and got us hooked on supplies from the worst nations on Earth.
Anyone who thinks importing resources from China and Russia instead of producing them at home, and that by doing this it will somehow lower the temperature of the globe, is too clueless to lead.
Energy independence now!We must settle for nothing less.

Europe’s dependence on natural gas mutes its objections to Russia’s invasion.
“Save the planet!” Ah, what a wonderful phrase. To quote an adorable little Swedish girl, “how dare you” even think otherwise? Well, pace Greta, dare we must. Garry Kasparov recently hit the nail on its head, when he tweeted, “You can’t save the planet if you don’t save people on it.”
Is Kasparov a stooge of evil oil corporations? No. He is a chess grandmaster, who over the years has issued warnings about Russia’s expansionism. And he clearly sees what environmentalists don’t: when you become overzealous in trying to save the planet, you forget about people living in nations invaded by tyrants of resource-rich countries.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and the war in Ukraine is proving it.
-Expose and act against Putin's lackeys in the free world. If Schröder and his ilk continue to work for Putin, bring charges. Ask the owners & advertisers of networks platforming Putin propagandists like Carlson why they allow it. 4/5
Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine is multicausal. But surely, he must have known all too well that Germany— and the European Union at large— would be hesitant about succoring Ukraine. Germany’s leadership may pay lip service to the defense of an invaded country, but when push comes to shove, military aid has been very limited. The motive for this apathy comes down to two words: natural gas.
Germany’s Green Party is a political force to be reckoned with, and their influence has been felt in the country’s decision to cut down on nuclear power. This trend has expanded to other nations in the developed world, not only regarding to nuclear power, but fossil fuels as well. Giving in to environmentalist pressure, US President Joe Biden has cancelled the Yellowstone pipeline, as he has claimed that “climate change is the biggest threat facing America.” As alternatives, renewable sources are proposed by environmentalists. But so far, they have been an utter failure; there simply is no comparison between a solar panel (useless on cloudy days) and a nuclear plant.
Developed countries may try to shut down sources of energy all they want, but their populations will not change their consumption habits any time soon. So how do their governments meet the energy demand? By getting it from nations who are not willing to cut down on energy production. In so doing, politicians from developed countries play feel-good politics and applaud Greta when she delivers her (scripted) speeches, while still making sure that their constituents have gas for their cars and homes are heated in the winter.
They of course fail to notice that their woke virtue-signaling act empowers tyrants like Putin. Does the Russian strongman care about the environment? Of course not. In fact, if he has to severely repress environmentalists, he will. And with his gas provision to Europe, Putin has now become unrestrained in his imperial designs, as he knows very well that his European clients will not interfere in his military adventures.
Soon after the invasion of Ukraine began, Russian forces seized control of the Chernobyl plant. Environmentalists are now worried, because they do not trust the Russians to adequately control the radiation emanating from there. But this is an outcome of environmentalists’ own doing. Nuclear power per se is not the danger. The danger is corrupt governments that develop (or seize) nuclear plants, and in their lack of transparency, do not enforce adequate safety protocols. These corrupt governments have been strengthened by environmentalists’ naivetéall along.
So, will we save the planet? Of course we will. But we must do so intelligently. Climate change is not a myth. But measures to cool down global warming must be taken with a proper cost/benefit analysis. For the time being, renewables’ cost is too high, and their benefits are too low. The war in Ukraine is now showing that there is an additional political cost that few people considered in the first place. Environmentalism has a dark side, and we should learn the lesson.

Acid rain – remember that one? Alar – remember that one? The earth is cooling – remember that one? No reason you should. They were all nonsense. More recent green scares also turned to be nonsense, or less there than meets the eye – polar bear extinction, sea level rise, and disappearing coral reefs. These scares keep happening because the climate change-industrial complex and other radical environmental Leftists think it’s perfectly fine to lie to you and scare you to death if it allows them to remake the world in their image and gets them to where they want to go. They themselves will be the first to tell you they are liars – strategic liars – as I mentioned yesterday. And you can add explicit admissions by Al Gore and Tim Wirth to the same effect, to the strategic lying I pointed out yesterday.
Now comes the latest adventure in greenpanicking – acid fish. The greenies are warning acidification of the oceans will decimate fish populations because acidification makes fish less inclined to evade predators. It’s all hogwash. A review of 91 studies found the higher the quality of the study, the lower the effect acidification has on fish. The most alarming results the greenies trumpet came from low-quality studies with small sample sizes that are completely unreliable. Overall, the review found, “ocean acidification has a negligible direct impact on fish behavior.” This is exactly what I was telling you yesterday about hundreds of scientists criticizing the climate change crowd for lack of scientific integrity. Here it is again.
Unscrupulous liars – these are you heroes. The computer models they use to predict climate change are so bad they can’t even reproduce temperature changes in the 20th century. So why would you believe anybody who claims their computer model can tell you what the temperature will be a hundred years from now? You’re a fool if you do.
They also withhold important information from you. They like to talk about how they’re saving the planet, but they never talk about what their policies would really do, as I mentioned yesterday. They never talk about the bad stuff. The regulations Biden wants would “keep 11 million more people in poverty come 2030 than otherwise would be.” And if “the Glasgow climate conference … leads to the adoption of much stronger climate measures, policy makers will raise that total to 80 million additional people in poverty by 2030.” They WANT you to use less energy. They WANT you to be poor, and they’ll ride any horse that will get them there. Could it be any clearer?
Speaking of withholding information, New York is doing its best to cover up the true cost of its climate legislation which mandates “Net Zero” emissions by 2050. The legislation requires public officials to make the total costs and benefits public, but they haven’t done it. As the U.K. found out recently, the costs are so high, any benefits are completely overwhelmed and green policies are doing real damage, far more than any damage arising from supposed climate change. But the greenies don’t care.
They go right on telling you to eat bugs and cuddle with your pets to stay warm in the freezing winter and there isn’t enough heat. Too bad if the elevators stop working in your building and you’re elderly. Too bad if your electric bill goes up 30 percent like in Europe and you can’t afford other necessities because of green policies. When are you going to get it through your thick skull the greenies don’t care about people and might actually be trying to hurt them. The greenies certainly don’t care about YOU. They only care about their fake religion of climate change. Like John Kerry just said: Russia started a war and Ukrainians are dying? So what, as long as it doesn’t stop the fight against climate change. Talk about a one-track mind. What a heartless narrow-minded moron.
The wheels are falling off the phony climate change narrative, but the Biden administration is holding on for dear life. It just held a roundtable on how to fight climate change deniers like me. Participants discussed their opponents’ arguments for delaying climate action and dreamed up ways to counter them. Pravda is gearing up to tell you how to think. According to the delusional fools in the White House, climate denialism only exists because “special interests” have been “sowing doubts” and speaking heresy.
Special interests? OK, let’s talk about special interests. Green groups like the Sierra Club, the Natural Resources Defense Council, and the Climate Action Network have received millions of dollars ultimately traced back to Russia to undermine fossil fuels and push green energy. Ca-ching, ca-ching! Russia is obviously trying to shut down U.S. energy to promote dependence on Russian oil & gas.
Some heroes you got there. They lie, they cheat, they fear-monger, and they cuddle up with the Russians to stay fed. Their financial patron thinks nothing of invading other countries, and THEY think nothing of tormenting and even killing the rest of us. If you’re a climate change true believer, you’ve got some agonizing reappraisal to do.
The U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is out with another report, this one declaring:
“Climate change is a threat to human well-being and planetary health. Any further delay in concerted anticipatory global action on adaptation and mitigation will miss a brief and rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a livable and sustainable future for all.”
There are several reasons not to take the new report at face value.
First, the IPCC does not have a good track record when it comes to credibility. A group of 900 scientists, engineers, and scholars examined a recent IPCC report and found it failed to meet objective standards of scientific integrity. Moreover, an author of earlier IPCC reports was quoted as saying,
“We need to get some broad based support, to capture the public’s imagination… So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements and make little mention of any doubts….”
Scary scenarios, huh? There’s no shortage of those in the new IPCC report – plagues, mental health problems, species going extinct, oh no! Also, more frequent and intense extreme weather events are a product of human-induced climate change, the report declares (at p. 7-8).
There are plenty of people who dispute that climate change – human-induced, if there is such a thing – causes extreme weather. Hurricanes are no more frequent than they were a hundred years ago, as of 2013. Data from the IPCC and NOAA – the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration – also show tornadoes, droughts, and floods have not increased, either. The new IPCC report also refers to sea level rise but, there as well, the U.N.’s record is not good. In 1989, a senior U.N. environmental official claimed, “entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.” Well, that didn’t happen and the data still do not support doomsday predictions of sea level rise from climate change. The same goes for the supposed imminent demise of coral reefs, to which the report also refers. A recent study supposedly documenting that demise itself said coral reefs rebounded in 2019. Too bad they can’t think they’re way out of a paper bag.
So the second reason not to take the new IPCC report at face value is that it’s full of stuff that is disputed or just wrong. The third reason is the hidden agenda. You can’t quite tell what the report is talking about in its recommendations to policymakers. It’s full of phrases like “key systems transitions”, “low regrets options”, and “inclusive governance”, whatever that means. It all centers on something the report calls “Climate Resilient Development”. They won’t spell out what they really mean, but they do use the language of the Left – “equity”, “climate justice” – so we can guess. Actually, we don’t have to guess. One of the authors told the BBC addressing climate change has to do with making changes in education, healthcare, poverty, and inequality. Beats me how changing what goes on in the classroom or transferring money from one wallet to another keeps the planet from burning up, but I can tell you what the IPCC global warming crowd really wants: Every American will have to cut their energy use by 90 percent. Energy use will have to fall by half, the world over. The climate crackpots also want to limit your travel, only let you have 16 gallons of gas a year, cut your food consumption by almost a third, and allow you to buy only 9 pounds of clothing annually. Ready for that? No wonder this crowd has to hide what it’s really talking about under layers of generalized gobbledygook and Leftist platitudes. ‘We must rise to higher and higher platitudes, together,’ as Chicago’s famous Mayor Daley used to say.
So much for the IPCC’s new report. Tomorrow, I’ll go through some recent news stories and show you that, despite the ever-more shrill pronouncements life on the planet as we know it will soon cease to exist, the wheels are actually falling off the entire phony climate change narrative, no matter how big the paychecks at the U.N. get.
